You are therefore insi ructed that
Won are nor expected to report cases

OF the present report is that there are

The Convict Leasing System
NicksburG Evening Post.

Nicksburc Evening Post.
According to the promise made yes
terday. we print to-day Capt. Frank
Johnston's able and comprehensive
letter on this subject, which we copy
from the New Orleans Picayune of the
Sd inst. Capt. JohnstOn's arguments
are convincing. while the information
set forth in his letter will prove valu-
able tn all who take an interest i'll the
subject. and we think that every hui
name person in the State does take an
interest in it. Referring to this letter
the Yazoo Herald says:
We would advise all of our sub
scribers to read carefully the well writ
ten article of Capt. Frank Johnston,
which appears on our first page, on the
penitentiary lease system. 1t is the
ablest presentation of the subject we
haye'cvcr seen, and to our mind convinc-
ing that IL change is imperatively
called for and that the lessee system
is pernicious. We had heard so much
about the matter that it had almost
ceased to attract our attention, and
we must confess that we rather leaned
to the side of those who, depreca
ting the evils complained of, yet were
inclined to believe that under the cir
cumstanceS and considering the indebt-
edness of the State, the leasing system
was about the best. But Capt. John
Ston takes higher grounds, and the on
~ proper position in his treatment of
the question. He handles his subject
too in manner that is more effective
than any other. He proves every
proposition he makes, and wastes no
time on abuse of any one. We are
glad to see that such men as Capt.
Johnston are taking hold of the matter,
and we hope the odiOus system is
doomed.
The Brookhaven leader., 1887-12-01
Convict Dcnth Rates.

In the year 1912 there were 40 con-
victs in the Mississippi State Prison.
This number increased until in 1859
the prison population was 1853.
During that whole period of seven
teen years there were in all thirty
eight deaths. That is to say, there
was an average each year of less than
three deaths. And the average death
rate per annum for these seventeen
years was only fraction over per
cent. That is, 9 convicts in each
hundred died each year.
For the last five years, including
1881 aud 1885, the lowest death rate
for any one year was S.4S per centum,
and the highest was 1856 per centum.
And the average annual death rate
per annum for these five years was
Ills, just about five times greater
than during the seventeen years
while the State lad control of its
prison.
In other words, where two convicts
died then, seven die now in each
hundred convicts. How is it that
these convicts who ought not to die
are killed Who is responsible, and
how are convicts treated anyway to
produce such fearful mortality?
1t looks like murder, systematic,
legalized murder. Aud the the Leas-
ing system is, responsible. 1t looks
as if the State places no value on the
life of human being when he has
once been covered with striped suit
of clothes and had all the hair of his
head shaved off is the life of Il CON
Wet worth saving Is il worth the ex
pcnditure of few dollars to save the
lives of these nine men out of every
hundred convicts9
If so, it is about time that the State
were making some examination of its
conscience, if it has conscience.
Unquestonably the Government is
under some duty to protect human
life, or to put it in another form. 1t
is not under any duty or obligation to
continue a system that is killing its
helpless victims to the point of de-
cimation each year.
The Brookhaven leader., 1887-12-01
To Our Subscribers.

The time has now come for us to
collect what is due us for subscriptions.
During the Summer, while money was
scarce. we presented no bills and on
" collected what voluntarily came in.
but now that the dull season Is over,
and our own bills falling due, we can
not grant further indulgence. The
purchase of new type and the convert
ing of our paper into an all-home print
has also increased our expenses and
these must be met. We therefore
hope our patrons will appreciate these
facts and come forward and settle.
In few days we will begin to send
out accounts, but where patrons know
they are indebted to us, we hope they
will not wait for personal dun, but
come forward and pay up without it.

Gratis ii plurality of -. The Senate
consists of Republicans, 80; Democrats
81. This estimate for the latter body
is based on the assumption that Rid
dleberger will continue to vote with
the Republicans. If he goes over to
the Democracy, the Senate will be tied.
1t is stated that the first session of
Fiftieth Congress will be long one,
extending far into the summer, and
like all other sessions upon the eve of
